Careful too because some of the MB hoses are not the same diameter at both
ends. Dimitri's '78 240D has a heater hose that I spent an hour carefully
stretching into place because to get the small end right meant the big end was
too small. This was back when Trent either sent me the wrong thing or nothing
at all.

W123 coolant hose

If it doesn't have any molded bends in it and Goodyear or Gates quality is good
enough for you (5-10 year life vs maybe 10-20 for factory)
you can just take it off, and have the guys at FLAPS cut an appropriate piece
off a roll of bulk hose to match it. Hopefully if it isn't close enough to a
common inch denominated side to do that, they'll tell you instead of selling you
a too-large hose.
If you want it RIGHT, go here and look it up.
You have to give them a credit card to activate a free one year subscription,
IIRC.
